That might work. I cant really suggest options though, because I dont shop for those sizes. But one thing I do recommend is getting an Alpine KTP-445u. It retails for $150 and is a 45watt RMS 4 channel amp. But it isnt really an amp in the traditional sense. It can usually fit in your dash behind the head unit, and doesnt require a power wire from the battery. You should look into it. You will appreciate your new speakers MUCH more than if you just ran them off the head unit power.

why two set's of speaker you realy only need one? most of the time the rear speaker in the back of car truck are bass speakers in the 100hz or less output range. this is becasue it is not noticable of ware it is comeing from to re place those we add subs . now the front speakers are the only set you will need because putting two sets in the car will distract the driver make you wonder ware it is coming from the nosies from it and it complicate tuning. any ways i prefer softer tweet like made of silk, textile, so on. the boston acoustics is a good brand i just do not know what tweet they got. since it is your ladies car i suggest a softer output to so she does not go deff from high output. like these if looking for higher output i would go for some thing like jbl's or infinity man are they loud lol'z. any ways these are my suggestion.

fivepoints. 2 sets because it is an SUV with 4 doors. YOU know it would sound better without rears. I know it would sound better without rears. Try convincing my wife of that LOL. Hell, Im only running front components in my Megacab dodge. I agree about silk tweets. i have an older pair of diamond D6s with silks and i LOVE the way they sound
